Physical Therapist- Clinical Specialist

Dephy is looking for someone who understands that mobility is personal — that the right support looks different for everyone, and finding it takes real curiosity, not just a checklist. We're looking for a team member who gets energized helping people move through life with more confidence, and who can bring clinical insight to the forefront of wearable robotics through in-person demonstrations and fittings. This is not a patient-treating role.
